Techna
“Techna are you… ” The door flew open and Jake’s body came to view.
I glanced at Tyler and saw him hitting his forehead with his hand muttering curse words.
“Jake I… ”
“You don’t need to explain anything to me, Techna. ” I looked at him with widened eyes. Was this man serious? He caught Tyler and I in an almost intimate position and he is cool with it.
Before I could walk up to him, he had gotten towards Tyler and he threw a punch at him. I gasped as Tyler’s head flew back. And they both chuckled.
What the fuck. “Jake please don’t hurt him. He did nothing wrong. I was the… ” I heard another punch followed by a round of laughter.
“What the fuck is going on here! “I screamed at them holding my stomach since they were acting stupid to me.
“Tyler, when were you going to tell me that you liked Techna, huh? ” Jake asked smiling at Tyler. The actual fuck?
Tyler just looked at Jake like he had grown two heads. “Jake what are you talking about? ”
“Oh shut up brother, I see the countless stare you…”
“Oh shut up! “Tyler groaned running his hands around his hair. I noticed he avoided looking my way.
“Hi babe. ” Jake came towards me and pecked my lips putting his hands around my shoulder and facing Tyler who had an emotion in his eyes I couldn’t really figure out. Was that jealousy?
“Bro, I need to have a long chat with my girlfriend here? ” He smiled knowingly at Tyler and gave him a wink before taking me out. Correction, he dragged me out due to my big pregnant stomach.
“Jake what’s going on? “I asked clearly confused on what’s going on as I sat on the bench outside with him.
He sighed before he began. “I know you like my brother. ”
“I don’t like Troy.” I definitely knew who he was talking about but I tried playing dumb.
“You know who exactly I am talking about you fish. ” He smirked wiggling his eyebrows at me.
“I… um… I don’t even know. I am sorry.” I frowned looking down.
“You don’t know? ” I could sense the confusion in his voice even when I couldn’t see his face. “I see the way you look at him with those longing eyes.”
“Longing eyes? What the fudge are you talking about? ”
Jake chuckled and patted my back. “I knew you wanted to jump his bones this morning. ”
“I didn’t… ”
“So, what are you going to do about you and Tyler?”
“There is no Tyler and I. Like, he doesn’t even like me. And why are you talking about Tyler and I? ”
“Just talk to him, Techna. I know my brother, he likes you, Tech. ”
“He doesn’t. And why are you so calm about this?”
He grinned. “Well, I met a lady that I recently just started to like. We have only met thrice. ”
“It’s okay, I am not mad. I am happy you found a girl you love. ”
I frowned. I couldn’t be loved by anyone. I was going to die single and a single mother. “Techna? ” He hugged me tightly. “It’s not like I didn’t love you. I liked you a lot, but I am not the right guy for you, you know that. There is this man waiting for you, you just have to realize that you love him already. Both of you are really delusional. ” He chuckled and kissed my forehead.
“So we are breaking up? ” I asked.
“Well, it’s sorta like that. ” He looked at me with a frown. “Thank you for understanding, Techna.”
“Yeah sure, anytime. And I want to meet this girl of yours. ”
“You definitely will, you guys have a lot of things in common. You will both hit it off pretty fast. ” He said smiling. Wow, he really loved her, I could see it through his eyes as he talks about her.
“I hope so. So take care? “I looked at him, smiling, I would definitely miss what we had together.
“Yeah. And sort things with my brother. “He wiggled his eyebrows at me. “And you guys can continue where you left off before I interrupted.”
I laughed and punched him playfully. “Whatever. ” I hugged him goodbye before he left.
I sent back into the house to see Tyler sitting on the couch watching TV. He looked back when I entered.
“What’s up, Tech?” He gave me a small smile.
“Well, Jake loves another woman and we broke up. I am not sad or heartbroken about it. I am really happy for him. ” I said.
“Why aren’t you sad? ” He raised a brow at me.
So answering Jake’s question, I don’t think I like Tyler because I think I am falling in love with him slowly, and…
I can’t do anything about it…
